Over the past two years, whether under the management of either Mano Menezes or Luiz Felipe Scolari, Brazil have been an inconsistent and, at times, underwhelming footballing force. There has been refuge, though, for supporters of the Selecao in the comforting fact that the country can still boast some of world football’s best and most sought-after talents. Neymar is, without doubt, the biggest...

Talk about perfect timing. EA Sports couldn’t have scripted this any better. With Tiger Woods‘ victory at Arnold Palmer’s tournament yesterday—aka, the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard—the two living legends of golf are front-and-center for the latest release of the popular video game series Tiger Woods PGA Tour 14, featuring Tiger (of course) and, you...

With his win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, his third win in four starts in 2013, Tiger Woods officially became the No. 1 golfer in the world again, a distinction the best player of this—or any—generation has not held since October, 2010.

Bolivia fought out a 1-1 draw in La Paz, while Argentina looked grateful to be leaving the country.

If you didn’t see or hear about Argentina’s 3-0 hammering of Venezuela last Friday night, then it won’t come as much of a surprise to find out that one man in particular was practically unplayable. Yes, Lionel Messi was at it again, scoring one and setting the other two up in another devilish display which left the Venezuelan’s chasing shadows and trying to tackle...

As the United States national soccer team prepares for its fiercest rivalry, another is starting to linger. The U.S. and head coach Jurgen Klinsmann will play Mexico Tuesday night at the Azteca Stadium, in search of the program’s first win there in World Cup qualifying.

Perhaps it’s the depth of (often negative) emotion the average golfer feels as a result of the game that inspires him to wax poetic. And maybe that same element inspires the poets, writers and artists to pay homage to golf—or at least lament its cruelty. The true funniest golf quotes of all time are likely never put to paper and aren’t spoken by golfers or celebrities. Many of them...

The world is a better place and seems to have gained a new equilibrium. Tiger Woods ascended to No. 1 with his win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. In October of 2011, he had fallen to No. 58. Six wins over the last 12 months have put him back in a familiar spot. He has held the No. 1 ranking for 632 weeks in his illustrious career. The question is can the previous No. 1, Rory McIlroy, regain that...
